The case only provides the Initial Investment of the project which is estimated to be BDT
20,000,000. The investment includes both capital expenditure in Plant and Equipment and
initial working capital. But how much of the initial investment will be used as capital
expenditure or working capital is not given in the case. Without these values, getting the
accurate free cash flow in Year 4 is not possible.
In Year 4, Spartans' free cash flow will be impacted by its working capital, which is not
available in the case. Moreover, it is mentioned in the case that the annual depreciation
value is BDT 2,000,000. The salvage value of the assets will be 15,000,000 at the end of the
4th year and Spartan will have to pay 15% capital gain tax. To calculate the salvage value
after capital gain tax, the initial investment in plant and equipment is necessary as different
initial investments will result in different salvage value after Capital Gain Tax. This is
exhibited in Table 01:
Table 01: Change in Salvage value after capital gain tax based on the change in the
initial investment in plant and equipment.
All the free flow from the project is repatriated to the parent country. But the free cash flow
can also be invested in Bangladeshi market and it creates an opportunity cost for the
Spartan. This opportunity cost is ignored in the case which is a limitation of the case.
